How to swim in our only indoor public pool

Zoom in: The South Side pool was closed for over six years.

• It has a new roof, refurbished facades, rehabbed bathrooms and showers, over a dozen individual private changing stalls, and a new dehumidifying system.

What to know: Pay first, with cash or check only. The best deal is to buy an annual pass, which also grants you access to the city's outdoor pools in the summer.

• For city residents, it's $30 per adult and $60 per family of four, plus $10 for each additional member.
• Children 15 and under are free. Residents 60 years and older are $20.
• Non-residents pay $45 for an annual pass.
• You can also pay $5 for daily admission.

How it works: After purchasing your pass or admission, walk upstairs and find a locker. Bring your own lock if you want items to be secure.

• Pick a changing room on the balcony, then rinse off in the bathroom showers before heading down to the pool.
• Hours are split to accommodate open swim, which is mostly wading and playing, and lap swim for exercising.

🩴 Pro tip: Bring your own towel and sandals!

The vibe: The water is comfortably warm and the bath house itself is very toasty.

• It's bright and clean.
• Soft contemporary music plays at a low volume over the speakers.

• Accessible changing rooms, lockers, and bathrooms are on the first floor.

💭 Ryan's thought bubble: I love swimming but have struggled to find affordable options outside of the summer. Private gyms, the JCC or YMCAs are still a bit out of my price range for swimming just once a week. Oliver Bath House is now the best option.

• Check out the Kingsley Association in Larimer for another affordable indoor pool.

If you go: The Oliver Bath House is at 38 S. 10th St., South Side. Check the calendar for open and lap swim times.

• 7:30am-4pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
• 7:30am-8pm Tuesday and Thursday.
• Noon-8pm Saturday and Sunday.
